Low Specificity of the Third Generation Elisa for HCV Detection in Voluntary Blood Donors in India

We determined its specificity in voluntary blood donors (VBDs) and patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) in relation to confirmatory line immunoassay (LIA) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
